    For the critical listener who is mostly just curious, like in a sociological way, about all the unsupported ideas floating around about this and that, it can be a hoot. However, the zealous devotion to D.B. Cooper became tiresome.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Zodiac Killer News Report: Geoprofiling Edition by Matteo Ferrari
Q: What is geoprofiling and how is it useful for catching killers and solving crimes?
Geoprofiling analyzes where crimes occur to infer the likely home or workplace area of the offender, helping prioritize suspects who live or operate in those zones. It does not provide a name by itself but narrows the field for investigators.
The Black Dahlia: Suspect Carl Balsiger w/ Eli Frankel
Q: Do you have any final concluding messages for the listeners about your book and the case?
Frankel urges readers to consider the evidence seriously, read the book to understand the detailed connections, and remember Elizabeth Short as a real person with a universal human story rather than a sensationalized symbol of the case.
The Black Dahlia: Suspect Carl Balsiger w/ Eli Frankel
Q: Okay, and is Arthur Lee Allen really your Zodiac Killer suspect, correct?
Frankel affirms that while the Zodiac case has many suspects, he believes Arthur Lee Allen is the strongest Zodiac candidate based on extensive study, though acknowledges ongoing debates.
The Black Dahlia: Suspect Carl Balsiger w/ Eli Frankel
Q: So if you were to just get right to the middle of the action, what are the similarities between the murders of Lila Welsh and the murder of Elizabeth Short?
Elli Frankel explains the core similarities, especially the signature elements like the horseshoe-shaped flesh removal and the calculated, slow, methodical approach to the murders, which indicate a single perpetrator with a consistent pattern across both cases.
Zodiac Killer News Report: The Hunt for Zodiac Edition w/ Mike Rodelli
Q: What are the main objections to Kjell Qvale as Zodiac, and how do you respond?
The objections include age, wealth, and Norwegian-accent debates; I argue that age can be misread, wealth fits the profile of a thrill seeker in a wealthy Bay Area neighborhood, and voice samples vary with exposure, making accent alone insufficient to rule him out.
